Nowhere is finally finished! XD The next request that looks interesting to me is... hang on, let me get my book... hmm... Ninja-Master-of-the-Moon's GrimmIchi request! Congrats! XD Now to start on that =) I'll also go over College Diva and start posting that, as someone had requested a crossdressing Ichi fic =D I'm sorry to those that I didn't pick, but I will get to them. I promise =) I just don't want to start one that doesn't appeal to me and have to end it crappily. That's not fair to you guys.

Shiro: What's the request 'bout? *bouncing around eagerly*

Ichi: You have to wait to find out, she's not going to tell us. =(

Grimm: Yeah, it's not like it's a totally badass fic about demons and hunters or anything.

Vae: GRIMM! DX

Grimm: What?

Ichi: How did you know? D=

Grimm: ... Lucky guess? ;p

Shiro: Ya cheated! Ya looked, didn' ya? Wait... why the hell didn' I think a that? T^T

Vae: Well, there you go, guys. Grimm couldn't keep his big mouth shut. *sighs*


Chapter 7

Ichigo stares down Yoshi, the woman that's been sent to kill him. The twin males are grinning insanely behind her, just waiting for the go ahead to join in. They don't scare Ichigo, Shiro is far worse on his own. Set in the back, waiting for this to end, is the man with large glasses. He doesn't seem to like doing the dirty work, so he'll likely stay away or run if things get messy… they're about to get messy.

"I don't like to hurt people," Ichigo sighs. "I really don't. I refuse to do so unless it's absolutely unavoidable. I'm going to ask you one more time to leave… and then I'm going to get hostile. You don't want me to get hostile, okay? You most likely won't survive it."

"You're such a scary man," Yoshi laughs. "I'm shivering in my stiletto boots. Let's see what the dangerous man has, yeah?"

"Let us! We want to fight him!" the twins grin in unison.

"Grimmjow!" a shout sounds.

All eyes turn to the street set on the hill behind them. Standing there, looks of hostility upon their pretty faces, are three women… and one tall Amazonian one. Ichigo knows the one standing behind them, that's Tia Hallibel. She's Aizen's weapon's dealer and one of his most fearsome female operatives. Her light brown skin glistens beneath the setting sun, her choppy blonde locks wavering in the wind. Three locks are braided in random areas of her hair and hang longer that the short mess of the rest. Her green eyes bore holes into all those present, easily scaring the piss out of a lesser man.

"Grimmy, what the hell? I thought we told you to stay out of trouble!" a woman with curly dark brown hair yells. "I should kick your ass for not listening!"

"Hey, shut the fuck up! It's not like I asked them to kick my ass!" Grimmjow shouts back. "They did that on their own!"

"… They kicked your ass?" another with a raven bob and mismatched eyes snorts in humor. "Oh, the all powerful Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, beaten down by a couple of snot nosed kids… I can't wait to tell everyone else! Did anyone get it on video?"

"That's not very nice, Apache," a petite woman with long flowing olive green locks scolds playfully. "I'm sure Grimmy tried his best to win without drawing attention to himself. It's not his fault he's a magnet for sexy looking people. Hello, sexy looking orange head down there! Can I have your number?"

Ichigo blushes hotly and scoots a bit behind Grimmjow to hide from the waving female. She feigns disappointment, yet Ichigo can tell she's not really upset. Hallibel holds up a hand, immediately silencing the argument between the trio. She casts it out so her palm faces the people below; all three women race into action. Hallibel leaps down with them, yet they separate and each go after an enemy… the brunette going after the twins. The blonde Amazonian strides slowly and purposefully over to Grimmjow, the larger male slowly wilting as she gets closer. Finally she stands beside him and he gets a little braver.

"Thanks for showing up," he offers sheepishly.

She smacks him upside the head with a glare, the blue haired man pouting childishly at the reprimand. Ichigo's overjoyed he didn't have to hurt anyone, the smaller male hugging Grimmjow's arm unconsciously as they watch the three girls kick ass. Grimmjow notices the action and smiles minutely at the unintended attention. It doesn't take long for the four to retreat, tripping over themselves as they hurry to leave. Hallibel turns to Grimmjow and Ichigo, raising a thin brow at the distracted orangette.

"You are coming with us," she states.

"Well… okay, see you later, Grimmjow," Ichigo says as he starts walking away. "Good luck with your psycho fan girls or… whatever they are. Hopefully you stay out of trouble; I don't want to have to…"

He's cut off when Hallibel grabs the nape of his neck, lifting him off his feet and drawing him back over to herself. His eyes are large as he's turned to face her, those green eyes filled with a firm scolding expression.

"You… are coming with us," she repeats more directly.

"… Here," Ichigo says throwing the scarf to blind the woman.

The minute it leaves his hand he's tearing off down the sands. He's already had to deal with Grimmjow for longer than he would've liked, there's no way in hell he's dealing with another Espada! Something in the back of his mind is nagging him the whole way back to his bungalow, though. He manages to ignore it while locking up every entrance or possible exit he can find. He collapses on his hammock, sighing in relief as he kicks off his board shorts. He takes a quick shower, pulls on some light sleeping pants and retires for the night. Tomorrow, he'll have to pack up and start getting ready to leave again.

The next morning, Ichigo cringes at a poke to his cheek. He turns away from it, mumbling in his sleep. Another poke to the cheek. Ichigo growls lightly, laying on his stomach and burying his head beneath his pillow. This time the poking stops and he sighs in relief… until a stinging slap to his ass has him tipping his hammock over. Ichigo hits the wooden floor below with a yelp, his sleep fogged mind spilling the first thing that comes to it.

"Damn it, Shiro, I said I didn't want to play your stupid game this morning!"

"… What game would that be?" a smooth voice of sex and sin wonders.

Ichigo's eyes pop open to see Grimmjow and the girls from last night in his place. He cries out and crawls for the nearest exit, fumbling with the lock as they watch in humor and exasperation. Grimmjow laughs out loud, strolling over and lifting Ichigo to toss him onto his shoulder.

"No need for that, Ichigo," he purrs. "We're not here to hurt you."

"That's a matter of opinion!" the doctor snaps. "From what I can recall, I was doing perfectly fine until I found you on the beach!"

"Yeah, sorry about that. I guess fate is just trying to tell you something."

"It sure as hell is… You're horrible for my health! Now get the fuck out!" Ichigo shouts. "I have a plane to catch in half an hour! I don't need you guys… wait… how the hell did you get in? I locked everything up!"

The woman with long deep olive hair peeks around Grimmjow and waves; one hand is covering her smiling mouth. Ichigo recognizes her in the light of day, especially since he's not distracted by the chaos of last night. It's Sun-Sun, the woman he's renting this place from.

"I knew you sounded familiar," Ichigo glowers.

"Sorry, Ichigo," she giggles. "I didn't know you were a Visored, or I wouldn't have let you stay here."

"I'm not a Visored! I'm just related to them!" he snaps. "And you don't have to worry about it anymore, I'm leaving!"

As he talks, he packs his things and grabs his untraceable cell phone. Ichigo needs to call Shiro and tell him what happened; the other will have the next ticket waiting for him. He's not sure where his twin will send him next, nor does he really care… he just wants all this over with. He dials up Shiro and gives a quick rundown on his way out the door, ignoring the group attempting to talk him out of going anywhere. He really shouldn't be running off alone like this, but he works better where he doesn't have to worry about others.


Yea! Update! XD Sorry I haven't been updating as much. As I mentioned before, I haven't really been writing a lot =( A lot of you have been reviewing on Derailed, saying you already read that part. Obviously, you had. I made a mistake on Chapter 5 and we're only supposed to post one chapter at a time, so I reposted that chapter. You'll just have to deal with the repeats until you reach chapter 10 =p So there. Until then, you can choose to read or you can choose to wait. It doesn't matter to me. I'll try and update other things so those of you that wait still have something to read, but keep in mind that I've already posted pretty much everything in my pool. It was only a matter of time before I ran out =( Now I just have to write more.

Shiro: I wanna pool! D=

Ichi: Not that kind of pool, dumbass!

Shiro: ... I still want one. =(

Grimm: I prefer the hot tub... with Ichi in it... naked =3

Ichi: *punches Grimmjow with blush* Shut the fuck up, you perv! DX

Vae: *sighs* I love my boys ;p
